I blame Michael J Fox

A curious trend - parents not bothering with whole names, just bestowing an initial on their offspring. To wit:

Kobie J, brother for Mieka

and recent offerings Jade V and Zaya J

We can think of several potential explanations:

• homage to the afore-mentioned Michael J or (more likely) Homer J


• parents' inability to agree on anything more than a single letter


• sheer laziness

Puzzling. Submit your theories on the back of a postcard.
